The year 2008 had been a fruitful one, despite so many natural disasters.
People grew up in times of adversity and in the midst of problem, I believe we can find a way out of it. As there's a saying, "when a door closes for you, there will be another door open for you." But I think we need to find that door and not stand there for the door to come to you. Haha!

New Year Resolution for 2009
1) Earn more money!
2) Save money for more holidays trips!

So we came out with a list of where can we go!
- Perth! (Free lodging at Darren's house! Lol!)
- Genting!
- Japan!
- Indonesia! (Free lodging at Ting's house! Stay at resort!)
- Taiwan! ( Free tour guide! Ting and Nick. LOL! )

Then, I also discuss with my auntie where we want to go.
So, we decided to go to Japan AGAIN during winter or autumn!
Hokkaido and stay at Disneyland resort! Hoho!

So excited!! ^^

HAHA =D

I chanced upon this article while surfing the net and I thought this was quite interesting!

Your "Real Sign"

The table below lists the dates when the Sun is actually within the astronomical constellations of the Zodiac, according to modern constellation boundaries and corrected for precession (these dates can vary a day from year to year).

You will most likely find that once precession is taken into account, your zodiac sign is different. And if you were born between November 29 and December 17, your sign is actually one you never saw in the newspaper: you are an Ophiuchus! The eliptic passes through the constellation of Ophiuchus after Scorpius.

Now you really have something cool with which to start that conversation!

Check out your “real” zodiac sign below and see what the sky looked like on your birthday by going to the Birthday Sky application.

Capricorn - Jan 20 to Feb 16
Aquarius - Feb 16 to Mar 11
Pisces - Mar 11 to Apr 18
Aries - Apr 18 to May 13
Taurus - May 13 to Jun 21
Gemini - Jun 21 to Jul 20
Cancer - Jul 20 to Aug 10
Leo - Aug 10 to Sep 16
Virgo - Sep 16 to Oct 30
Libra - Oct 30 to Nov 23
Scorpius - Nov 23 to Nov 29
Ophiuchus - Nov 29 to Dec 17
Sagittarius - Dec 17 to Jan 20

So I'm an Aquarius instead of Pisces. Haha!

And that explains this test:

My family went to the apartment to stay, it's at the OG building at Orchard.
The place it's quite big, I expected lesser stuffs and smaller rooms.
It has 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms and a kitchen.
Quite cool, 'cause we can cook something and don't have to worry about the mess. Haha!
Anyway, my auntie and I reached there first and we went out to shop at Robinsons. Oop, I forgot to mention Matt was there too :)
Then we walk walk walk, and blah blah blah....
We went to watch Bedtime Stories at late night, 12am show. Haha! First time watching a late night show. Haha! Quite cool and I did not expect there are actually still so many people watching late night movies. The show ended aroung 2 plus and we walked home. I think the show was only so-so, the storyline wasn't very nice and the jokes aren't really funny. Yep, maybe except for the pet? It's cute :) But I don't it's worth watching during weekends, maybe paying 6 bucks for it is still okay.


Then the next day, my other cousins came and Matt had to go home. Sad. If not I think the whole apartment will be a mess. Real mess. Haha! They are so cute.
Did I mentioned that I cooked pasta? Haha! The afternoon's one turn out quite okay, but the evening's one wasn't really good. I think the stove is not functioning, we boiled the water for like 30 mins and the water is not boiled yet =/ But it's still edible, so no one got stomach upset or whatsoever. Haha! Accomplishment! :D I think my cousins had fun and they even wanted to stay there. Lol! Anyway, after they left, we went out to walk for a while and went back home. We watched Transformers on HBO. It's the second time I watched, and it's really nice =_)


New Year's coming and I have many many wishes.
I will post up when the time comes. Haha!
Pictures will be posted later, when I free like it :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Yesterday went out with my friends to Marina.
Ate at hotpot culture, well, it's the same as Rajah Inn in Tiong, and taste alright.
Too much vegetables, makes it feels like we are eating vegetarian food?
Then we ate the fondue set, well, it taste quite alright. Haha!

Our initial plan was to stay up the whole night till Christmas, little did we know, someone up there doesn't want us to stay up. It kept pouring until we decided to go to Nick's house.
Irony.

It feels kind of weird, because I doesn't feel like it's Christmas at all.
Don't have the mood to celebrate Christmas?
Maybe.


Some things are not seen using naked eyes, it takes a heart to feel it.


My mood these few days isn't very good.
Feels like there's something missing in my life.
Kind of feel frustrated with many things.
Oh well, may next year be a good one.

Didn't slept well last night because I was scared the event was not unsuccessful, but today's event can say is a successful one.
Good jobs to everyone.
Hope that everyone had fun! Haha! We ran at the last leg with Wan Qing's group. Haha! So funny! =)
Really tired 'cause we walked back and fro (:
Something happened at the end, but think everything will work out fine :)
Don't be sad!


Did I mentioned that I cut my hair? Omg! It feels so weird la!

Love Story - Taylor Swift
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights,
See the party the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did i know

That you were romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And i was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go, and i said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes

So i sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Lets escape this town for a little while
Cause you were romeo i was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don’t go and i said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You be the prince and I’ll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but its real
Don’t be afraid we’ll make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes,

Oh, Oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When i met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, i don’t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet you’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
Its a love story baby just say yes
Oh, Oh,
We were both young when i first saw you


Just A Dream - Carrie Underwood
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in her shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the gun's rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah


These two songs are really touching.
Maybe you'll understand, maybe, you won't.

It's holidays for 3 weeks.
And the first week's coming to an end =(


Had chalet this Monday to Wednesday. It's so fun.
It's the first time all our clique came to a chalet.
So happy.
We had BBQ on the first day, well, the pork chop and chicken wings were really nice :)
All thanks to Nick's and HC's mum!
We girls just need to stay in the room and watch Little Nonya while the guys serve us. Haha!
This is life =D
Then we had steamboat on the second day. As usual, there are tons and tons of meatballs and we make our own wantons that day. Fun! Ym and me slept early that night because we were too tired. I think the rest watched Deadly Silence. I woke up and heard the sounds, then I don't dare to get up so I continued sleeping. Haha!
Chalet was really fun! Next time organize again! Haha!


Then today went to school to do I&E. We were burning the papers. Seriously, my hands hurts and just now I could not even sms properly with my thumbs.
But think we did quite a lot of things today, we almost done the mission cards.
=D
I seriously don't want to fail I&E. Our teacher seems so strict.
She still want to come to our event =.="
Damn sian.


I bought a new phone last Sunday, it's so cool!
I kept playing games on this phone and it looks really nice.
Except for the fingerprints all over my phone, the rest were fine =)


Can't you take the initiative instead of other people telling to do what?
I don't know what I am doing.
I want to get out of this.

COMMON TEST ARE FINALLY OVER!
O-V-E-R!!!

After IPT, we went to Rui Ming's house and watched Pink Panther. Haha! The movie was very funny. The inspector was very dumb =D Then we went to watch Twilight at Cine. It's a very good movie, although the beginning was a bit boring. After Edward appear in the movie, it became nicer. Haha! He is very handsome! とても　ハンサムです！ Really a nice show. Should go watch. Hmm, anyone go watch go ask me, but can treat me? Haha!

Anyway, I saw a really nice moon just now. Took some photos of it and going blog all the photos that I have taken! =)

Yeah~
Tomorrow's the last paper, which means holidays are coming!
It's good to take a 2 weeks break from school, but school projects are still going to haunt us during holidays. Especially when the projects are due on January, and we are going to worry about them during holidays.
So where's the HAPPY HOLIDAYS?


One thing for sure, chalet is up next Monday, I'm so so EXCITED!!!
I think it's the first time all the people will be going to the chalet! Wee~ We're going to wrap wontons and watch horror movies at night, BBQ and steamboat. Hohoho! I should bring my pillow to cover my face :)
Awesome! :)


Then we're going to have our I&E event on 22nd Dec. Going to be very busy preparing all the stuffs. Our teacher's real strict. I think she wanted to meet us again? Omg =.=

Now listening to YUI radio. But I don't understand a thing. =.=
I heard something about Nabe(steamboat). Lol!


And one more thing, heard that YUI will be taking one year to rest. Sobs.
Her song's so nice and I'm going to wait for her new album after My Short Stories. =_(

Yesterday's JLPT was alright I think.
Paper 1　は　かんたんです。
Paper 2　と　Paper 3 は　ちょっと　むずかしです。
I do hope that I can pass :)

Today's holiday, don't feel like studying SOM. Really.
I haven't even touched it.
Lol.


I really hoped that CT ends really fast.
Got lots of things to do and I don't feel like studying at all.
Recently watched an anime called Azumanga Daioh あずまんが大王.
It's a really funny show.
,Your can watch it at Otko at Saturdays and Sundays, 7:30pm.


Need to study soon:(

I'm going to have my JLPT test later on.
Wish me luck. Haha!

Was really scared that I would fail, the paper marks allocated was scary.
100 points for a 19 questions listening,
100 points for 26 questions grammer,
and 200 points for 47 questions vocabulary.

SOBS. I think I dreamt about Jap while I was sleeping just now :(

Oh well, going to practice the papers again :D

Tomorrow will be ITLG.
And I have yet to study finish.

Then comes CMA, theory haven't study.

THEN ON SUNDAY! JLTP!!!
I wasn't even confident that I would pass it.
There's particles, sentence structure, 800 vocabularies, 100 kanji! And the te-form, ta-form, nai-form and dictionary-form. HOW TO STUDY FINISH???

THEN ON NEXT TUESDAY. SOM!
Haven't even touched on it.

THURSDAY, BSD.
Same as SOM.

FRI, ITP.
I will not think about it.

Holidays!!!

Only a few days had passed, but so many things had happened.

The Mumbai 9/11 finally ended, one Singaporean was held hostage and killed.
Many people were dead.
My deepest condolences for her family and friends.
Those terrorists were inhumane, why would they want to kill so many people?
A bunch of crazy freaks.

Then, there was the Thailand riot. Protesting against the government.
Still ongoing, wondering when it will end.



But back to yesterday, we went to Sitex and catch Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The dogs were cute, and there wore really nice clothes etc. Bought a SLR camera with my brother.

Yesterday, I have seen ugly sights of Singaporeans.
People just stood outside the MRT door and blocking the way to let passengers alight.
I was thinking, if we did not let them in, will they just stand there.
I have the urge to just stand and block them too.
I wanted to see what will happen.
This type of people irritates me a lot. Can't they be more considerate?

I prefer Japan then, Japanese queue for the train and they let passengers alight first.
Where's the gracious society in Singapore?
